Is your child or youngster anxious, scared? Have they experienced something traumatic or are they experiencing low mood? Do you feel stressed in your everyday family life or is your relationship experiencing a rocky patch? Do you feel that worry accompanies your everyday life? Would you like a safe and understanding professional to support you, your child or family? I am here to help. During my appointments, every client is met as themselves – sensitively and in a trust-building manner. The goal is to ease symptoms, strengthen coping mechanisms and increase a sense of security in everyday life. I also work with parents and couples, offering family meetings or parent guidance. My work is practical and solution-oriented, but there is always room for emotions. I believe that even one genuine and safe encounter can initiate positive change. Everyone is warmly welcome to my appointments – regardless of sexual orientation, body, family or relationship form and ethnicity. Education and professional background: I am a licensed psychologist. I am a qualified therapist for the Cool Kids anxiety treatment program for children and adolescents. I have also completed the Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) program. TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma. After graduating, I have worked as a psychologist in a child guidance and family counselling centre in Lapland, as a student welfare psychologist in Jyväskylä and as a psychologist at the Children's specialist appointments in Helsinki. I am happy to work in Finnish ed anche in italiano. Welcome to my appointments!
